The End of Solitude brings together more than forty other essays from such publications as Harper's and the Atlantic and introduces four that are published here for the first time. They seek to understand how we can live more mindfully, more meaningfully, more freely. Behind their questions lies a fundamental one: What does it mean to be an individual, and how can we sustain our individuality in an age of networks and groups?
